They hadn’t won a series since sweeping three games from Kansas City from July 21-23 and hadn’t taken a road series since winning two of three at Oakland from June 27-29.“We&#...

Oliver Anthony, the viral musician whose hit song still sits atop the Billboard Hot 100, sat down with Joe Rogan for an hours-long interview that covered politics, porn, mental health and much more.Many assumed the lyrics in Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” — which discuss “minors on an island” and people abusing welfare — denoted a Republican mindset, but Anthony has since tried to separate himself from any political affiliation.During his interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the overnight sensation similarly took a measured approach to discussing his political stance. However, he admitted that most of his friends in Virginia “vote red” and support Donald Trump. He also at one point took a shot at Barack Obama.“I love freedom of speech and I love the Second Amendment,” Anthony shared, although he said he knew both issues have been used as “triggers” by the right to drum up support from their base.At many points in the conversation, Rogan seemed to try to get Anthony to di...

The Mets are giving Ronny Mauricio a shot at some September bombs.A source confirmed to the Daily News that the club intends to call up a top prospect from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday when rosters expand.Mauricio is having a standout season for the Syracuse Mets, slashing .295/.349/.511 with an .860 OPS and 23 home runs, which is tied for the eighth-most in Triple-A. The 22-year-old Dominican has hit 23 doubles, three triples, driven in 71 runs and stolen 24 bases.A switch-hitter, Mauricio is a big figure in the box at 6-3 and makes a lot of hard contact. Power has long been his calling card and now the Mets can get a chance to see if he’s ready to hit for power against big-league pitchers. Mauricio will need to shrink the strike zone and learn how to take more walks, but the next month will provide a good challenge for a key part of the Mets’ future.He was signed as a shortstop and developed as a shortstop, but with Francisco Lindor locked up long-term, the Mets moved h...
